1796 10c – AU55
On Sept. 12, Heritage auctioned a CAC approved AU-55 grade 1796 dime for $21,000. On Feb. 8, in successive lots, Heritage auctioned a PCGS graded AU-55 1796 dime for $13,200, and a PCGS graded AU-58 1796 dime for less, $12,600. Neither the PCGS graded AU-55 dime that realized $13,200 nor the PCGS graded AU-58 1796 dime, which realized $12,600, had a CAC sticker. Market levels for these were not higher in September 2024 than they were in February 2024.
1893-S Morgan $1 – F15
On Sept. 12, Heritage auctioned a CAC approved Fine-15 grade 1893-S Morgan silver dollar for $9,786. The same day, Heritage auctioned an NGC graded Fine-15 1893-S Morgan, without a CAC sticker, for $5,160. On May 10, Heritage auctioned two PCGS graded VF-20 1893-S Morgans, neither of which had a sticker. The first brought $6300 and the second realized $5,640. Therefore, a CAC approved Fine-15 grade coin brought much more, $9,786, than each of two non-CAC, PCGS graded VF-20 1893-S silver dollars, $6,300 and $5,640.
1883 Hawaii $1 – MS63
On Sept. 12, Heritage auctioned a CAC approved MS-63 grade 1883 Hawaii silver dollar for $13,200. On May 5, 2023, Heritage auctioned a PCGS graded MS-64 1883 Hawaii silver dollar, without a CAC sticker, for $10,200. Although market levels for uncirculated Hawaii silver dollars probably increased from May 2023 to September 2024, any such increase would not entirely account for a CAC approved PCGS graded MS-63 coin bringing more than a non-CAC PCGS graded MS-64 Hawaii silver dollar.
1889-O Morgan $1 – MS64DMPL
On Sept. 22, DLRC sold a CAC approved, PCGS certified MS-64-DMPL 1889-O Morgan silver dollar for $8,500. On Jan. 12, 2024, Heritage auctioned a PCGS certified MS-64-DMPL 1889-O Morgan, without a CAC sticker, for $4,320.
